[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 8054597, member: 1232"] I don't do them if sowing spring barley. A grass cover crop works well before beans for my soil. Ideally any cover before spring barley needs to be eaten by a sheep but at the moment it's better to keep brassica out of rotation to help the osr. Remember a lot of cover crop data has come from USA which has hot summers, cold winters, short season crops and high evapotranspiration quickly or South America which has tropical rainstorms and short season crops. So it entirely depends on the climate, the previous crop, the next crop, the rotation and the humidity. [/QUOTE]
